Not technically Music, but we saw Henry Rollins perform last night at the Palace of Fine Arts and my friends. He's so good. He's amazing - although at one point I was thinking I had to put my earplugs in because the man is Very Very Good at Yelling.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Mimi Parker has died. Way too young.
It's very sad. She and Sparhawk met in elementary school.

Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie died at 79. It's a shame, but she sure wrote some good music.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Putting on a very escapist hat and unlurking in very, very, very long shot question: any chance someone here is planning to attend the Lost Weekend Records 20th anniversary show in Columbus, OH? Asking for a Scrawl fan. Who is me.
Edited: slightly embarrassing, but either due to COVID brain fog or all of the local political excitement around, I missed it by a month. But I found a video, so yay!

Art Crawl!!!
I am so stunned and saddened by Sinead O'Connor's death. She was brilliant & forthright and had such a lovely voice.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, it’s a hard one, Sumi. For sure.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm going to see The Warning [link] in Chicago later this month. I've already purchased a pair of earplugs designed for concerts. Anything else a middle-aged person venturing back into live music after over two decades should be aware of?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
ST:SNW did a musical episode.
The songs all seemed very polished to me, but none of them grabbed me the way "Rest In Peace" and "Walk Through the Fire" and "Something To Sing About" from Once More With Feeling did. Or even "Break Away" and "Turning My Life Around" from Anna and the Apocalypse.
